Everything still a bit " topsy-turvy" atm ---- markets coming off lows a bit now --- Got stopped out of my Gold long posn. on an in profit s/l for 8pts. --- Just had to go long Gold again at 1210.5 ---- probably a mistake but got a few pts. to play with !!!. Got in Long the Dax on a 9700 order fill ---- banked a " lucky" 100pts. on that just a few mins. ago so that's put a smile back on my face again (lol) ---- Sorely tempted to add more Aviva but have thought better of it atm !!--- things are far from certain out there atm. GLA -----

In all markets at the start of the second quarter , NFP data out of the USA very soon is also compounding the negativity atm.----- Aviva slipping back a little, as is DLG --- My remaining 50% IMG posn. also now at almost b/e ----- GLA ----- not looking very good out there atm. ----

GS :-- just back from Welshpool Garden Centre & liquid lunch etc ---- been a lovely day weather wise here !! DIrect Line's broader 3 year graph gives a channel bottom of around 357/358p currently , so a little further to drop ti hit the line atm ---- but the daily RSI has given some good historic support around the 40 ish mark , i notice ---- which puts it right at that sort of figure ( 357/358p ) --- Supp1 gives around 360p on the normal 1 year graph so that ties in nicely as well -- Res1 is up around 382p ish ---- A little bit betwixt & between atm . --- not sure which way it will go in the short -term , and brokers are extremely mixed to say the least !!-- But GL if you have a punt ---i'll stick with Aviva atm --- GLA ----

Aviva 453.5p of course (lol) ---

Morning All :---- GS ---- Only bought 5000 and was not prepared to take any more than a 10p loss ( posted on IMG board about the 3 month upward channel , top is around 200/202p and bottom around the 180p mark now ) -- Top bollinger on the daily is around yesterdays high at 197/198p ish -- so yes, simply had to top slice 50% yesterday given the technicals ( and the current uncertainty ) -- Didn't get the top but managed a 10p gain ( 195.5p . £250-00 ) -- Dropped back to my entry level now on market weakness --- but my Gold long is doing well atm. My ETO and JE keep going in and out of profit on my current posns. but ITV firmly in profit again atm. Still struggling with a head cold but my good lady's ears are now ok (lol) ---- Going off to the Garden Centre in a wee while --- this glorious weather has sparked a frenzy of activity in all things Garden (lol) --- Was going to buy some Aviva yesterday ( thinking i had missed the bottom @ around 155p --- glad i didn't as i see they're now standing at around 153p ish --- Turned back up for the First time off the 150p support this morning ----so have gone in Long with a small amount at 153.5p ---- Not convinced atm. as more general market weakness will see further falls i suspect !!!!--- But ahead of the crowd if it doesn't --- Struggling with my laptops doing their Virus Checks atm ---- GLA -----

Morning All ---- Not much trading atm ----- opened a small Long in IMG yesterday afternoon @ 185.5 p ( we'll see) --- Developing a nasty head cold so not feeling too grand atm ---- My good lady off to Docs' this afternoon for an ear syringe ( ouch) ----- Optimus :--- Got stopped out of Gold but went back in long @ 1218.3 , so back to square one again atm with no damage done ( yet) lol ---- GLA -----

Better than i thought to hold at these levels ---- Opened a small Long position yesterday afternoon ( 185.5p ) as it popped back above the midday spike --- Must keep a close eye on it this time ( that channel) as things may still be a bit "bumpy" for a while yet !!!-- GLA -----

Come on guys ----i know it's Good Friday and a Public Holiday but just drop in and wish me a Happy Easter if you don't want to discuss all things Financial today (lol) ---- GLA --- happy easter , remember chocolate is fattening so go easy on them eggs (lol)---

The pull-back from well above 200p was inevitable , i suppose , given the refuted take-over rumours !!-- Exane's underperform target of 85p yesterday certainly wasn't going to help much either (lol) ---- Difficult to judge this one now ---will it, won't it ????? Technically / chart-wise it is still sitting nicely in the recent upward channel --- perhaps a drop back to around 172/176p yet before any renewed upswing !!--- Was , after all, technically daily rsi overbought at around 196p never mind the dizzy heights of around 220p (lol) . GLA -----

Looking at my performance with ETO you would be well advised to offer a different first prize , perhaps (lol) -- Thanks anyway !!!--- Let's hope lego is back amongst us very soon --i miss his dry humour !!!----- GL sir ---

Sitting below daily rsi50 atm. which has been very good historic daily rsi support --- so my guess is we may well see lower to come before any sustained upward gap fill ---- GLA ----

Look to be at an interesting level now !!!!--- A couple of Broker downgrades today , i see, but if the 450p supp. level holds then there is a good gap up to be filled again . Below 450p and it may just see the very low 400's again short-term !!!--- Just a thought ---- GLA ----

The Markets open tomorrow ( Good Friday ) ----anybody know ?? --

Yes, i have just read all the online info. about the Shares in the Trust and have to say i am still somewhat confused and bemused at the fee structure apparently attached to the performance over and above the 10% yearly accumulative profit !!!--- It will be levied on your account and made up of 80% new shares ( a bit like a rights issue etc.) and 20% cash .If you buy and sell tho' on the open market or thu' a spread betting platform i have no idea how that performance fee will be collected !!!! --- Never heard or had dealings with this sort of Trust Fund fee collection before --- bit unusual i would have said !!- GL ----

I really have no idea why you are both going on about a " performance fee" with WPCT shares !!!!!-- The Neil Woodford Fund may well have a performance fee attached to it but if you buy shares/units in the Woodford Patient Capital Trust ( wpct)( which currently stand at around 92.6p ) thru' your normal broker or thru' a spread betting platform then there can be no performance fee attached !!!!-- That's my understanding of it atm. ---- I think you are both referring to a Fund not the listed Trust shares !!!--- GLA ------

You did well on your AV. buy and sell --- bit nearer the top than me on that one (lol) --- GL ---

Morning All ---- Market weakness all over the place and seemingly in everything because of the oil price collapse again !! GS :-- that's a good profit on AHT. in a short time but the Technical weakness was evident in AV. and AHT. a couple of days ago when both were a fair bit higher . With the WPCT charges -- why not just buy the trust share ( currently 93.25p ) which is what you were quoting price wise the other day i assume !!!!--- or am i incorrect on that ?? Optimus ----- trading the 1min. Dax atm. , going my way so far (lol) .Also gone Long on Gold again this morning @ 1214.8 ( fingers crossed ) . GLA -----

Finally back to evens with Gold @ 1224.6 --- Dow, Dax & Ftse100 have all witnessed big reversals from earlier highs !!!! --- To be very honest , i had expected Gold to be a lot higher on the back of those reversals ---- hmm . GLA -----

had a senior moment a while ago ---seems i forgot to hit the " post " button (lol) ---- Anyways the gist of it was i got stopped out again on Gold for another 3 point loss ( 8 in total now ) --- Was going to leave it alone but decided to go Long again @ 1216.8 , so got almost half back atm !!!!--- What a carry-on (lol) ----- GL ----

Yes, but true never the less ---- Never forget your " roots" and your trodden " path " in life !!! (lol) ----- GL -----
